Critique

Speed
With broadband this site seemed to load fairly fast, although with a lower connection would take considerably longer with no option to skip or use a html based site the viewr simply has to wait. Once loaded though the site is a explosion of colour and animations.
The load screen fails to help the user understand the websites purpose so the only way to find out is to wait. No information even estimated load times.
Screen size
Well if your browser is small or your visually impared hey this site aint for you chick, No option to increase text size to change display or even the text size settings have no affect. this site is for perfect people.
Other browsers
Mozzila firefox on this computer doesnt have the plugin available and takes time and effort to download is it worth it? I say no.
What is the site trying to do?
The website from the about us section is a showcase for the artworks and graphics from 4 french men movies, street art, 3d art and miscelaneus items.
One can say this site seems to display their products in a fun and creative way using an intuative method of navigation. The product looks asthetically pleasing but is poor when considering functionality.
Overall
Aa gallery and showcase of their work works very well. but as the internet is a mass medium availabel to all and should not discriminate against certian people I feel overall as a website posted on the web this is a poor example, i feel this type of site would be more benificial to the company as perhaps a demo CD of their best work or even just have a way of accessing the web page without flash and a more structured traditional approach for a wider audience.
This was not as bad as I expected it to be when I first saw it. I agree with you that it is not very accessible and I wonder about its usability. It needed a user who did not really care about what they found and just explored the site. If it was intended to give useful information, and it wa difficult to tell what it was for, then it failed as a design.
I tried following through and opening a popup but then I could not get back to the original site. So location of user and navigation was very bad.
